ABSTRACT
In this study, Caenanthura engimatica (Kensley and Reid, 1984) is newly reported from Korea along with detailed description and illustrations. This species can be characterized by the following features: cephalon has a rostrum extending as long as anterolateral lobes; pereonites 4-6 have shallow middorsal pits; the mandible palp has 2 articles; article 1 of the mandible palp is twice longer than article 2; and the maxillipedal palp has 1-3 fused and 4-5 fused articles. This is the first report of C. engimatica beyond Arabian Gulf, the type locality, and Indian Ocean. Additionally, we proposed a revised key to known species of the genus Caenathura Kensley, 1978. Keywords: Caenanthura, isopod, morphology, taxonomy, Korea
INTRODUCTION ular palp has two segmented articles; and the maxilliped is four segmented. However, Wägele (1989) has synonymized The family Anthuridae Leach, 1814 is the oldest and largest Arabanthura with Caenanthura. Thereafter, Poore (2001) group in superfamily Anthuroidea Leach, 1814, including confirmed it based on the morphology of maxilliped and 25 genera (Chew et al., 2014). This can be recognized from pereopod 1. In this study, we newly report a Caenathura other Anthuroid isopods by the following characteristics: the species from Korea, C. engimatica, with detailed description body is 10-15 times as long as wide; the flagellum of the and illustrations. This species was originally described from antenna is fewer than ten articles and shorter than the pe the Arabian Gulf by Kensley and Reid (1984). The present duncle; the maxillipedal palp has five free articles or some study is the first report of this species from the other region fused articles; each propodus palm of pereopods 4-7 has beyond the Arabian Gulf and the Indian Ocean (WoRMS, single distal robust seta; the exopod of pleopod 1 is opercu 2018). We provide a revised key to known species of the liform; the mouthparts are not produced anteriorly; the ple genus Caenanthura in this paper. otelson has two statocysts (Poore, 2009). In this family, the Specimens of Caenanthura engimatica were collected genus Caenathura Kensley, 1978 comprises 6 species, Cae- from the southern coast of Korea using a sieve with mesh nathura siamensis (Barnard, 1925), Caenathura indica Ne size of 1 mm and the van Veen grab. The collected materials goescu, 1980, Caenathura engimatica (Kensley and Reid, were immediately fixed in 95% ethanol and transferred to 1984), Caenathura gutui (Negoescu, 1997), Caenathura the laboratory. A stereomicroscope (Olympus SZH-ILLD, ibex Bamber, 2008, and Caenathura koreana Song and Min, Japan) and a bright field microscope (Nikon Eclipse 80i, 2015. They can be distinguished from other anthurid isopods Japan) each equipped with a drawing tube were used to by having one or two mandibular palp articles, two or three observe the habitus and appendages.
